Around Sound Pro allows you to listen to music or watch movies and still be aware of your surroundings.

What it does:

*PRO Version ONLY* Street Mode:

+Walk down the street and only hear the noises above the set trigger level. Never interrupts your music.

Pause Mode:

+Uses your headset’s microphone to listen for loud noises and pause your music or movie if one is detected, then play back the sound that triggered the pause and continues for a short period of time the optionally resumes your music or movie.

Non-Pause Mode:

+Uses your headset’s microphone to listen for loud noises and dips your music volume if one is detected, then play back the sound that triggered the pause and continues for a short period of time then returns music to regular volume.

Bluetooth Mic Option:

Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind

Where would I use it?

Note:

This is my first app so please send me feedback good or bad. If something is wrong let me know first before giving a low rating. Also don’t use any task killer apps, they will probably kill this program. And they’re not really worth using anyways.
